Calendar: ‘Legally Blonde,’ Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular

Nikki Bohne, as Elle, is the star the stage version of Legally Blonde. ROBIN JERSTAD / SPECIAL TO THE EXPRESS-NEWS

Apparently, “Legally Blonde,” the current resident musical in the Broadway Across America Series, is not the calm before the “Wicked” storm. According to Express-News theater writer and my “The Wire” discussion partner (so what if we’re five years tardy) Deborah Martin, the “Blonde” is pretty good. The show continues through Sunday at the Majestic Theatre. Click here to read Ms. Martin’s review.

Also, the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular invades the newly-renovated Lila Cockrell Theatre tonight. Over at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, more than 250 vendors will set up shop at the Wedding Fair on Sunday.

Continue for complete listings. As always, these listings are the work of one Weekender calendar editor Stefanie Arias, aka “No Arias Attached.”
